045 A bright future
A few days have passed in a flash.
Soon it was time for Ning Ying to move.
Early in the morning, Xiao Panzi was ordered to bring someone over to help, and he was busy from early morning to noon.
Seeing that she was almost done, Ning Ying planned to go to the courtyard to say goodbye, but as soon as she went out, she looked up and saw Wu Gege and several concubines coming over with gifts to see her.
Wu Gege took two steps forward, grabbed Ning Ying's hand first, and said with a sad face: "Sister Ning, although we haven't been together for a long time, we are very close to each other, and now that I see that you are leaving, I ...... I really can't bear it! ”
As she spoke, she took off the handkerchief in front of her chest, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and did not forget to quickly tell Ning Ying: "My sister is a blessed one, don't forget to take care of us in the future!" ”
Several concubines immediately came around, and after giving Ning Ying a gift, their mouths were full of splendid words: some praised her for her good fortune, some said that she had a fate with the fourth master, and some wished her a good future from the past.
After receiving the gift, Ning Ying also instructed Qing Yang to take out the return gift that had been prepared a long time ago and distribute it to a few people.
She was never stingy, and she picked out the colors that the young girls' families liked, and for a while, Wu Gege and a few concubines saw the return gift, their eyes were full of surprise, and they quickly thanked her.
Ning Ying pursed her lips and smiled, and said to everyone kindly: "Don't thank you, although I have moved now, in fact, I have only moved next door, and I can get there by walking two steps, which is not far away!" ”
Several girls smiled with her - but their hearts were a little sour, and everyone knew it in their hearts: Ning Gege had only been in the mansion for such a short time, but he had already received a lot of rewards from the fourth elder brother.
Now the fourth elder brother even felt sorry for the small place where she lived, and moved her directly.
He put his care for her on the bright side - so that the whole house did not dare to despise her.
Ninggege is going here, and the future is bright.
If she conceives a child again, she will soar to the top...... Maybe it will soon be different from them.
The concubines Zhao and Zhou lowered their eyes in silence, and they couldn't help but feel a trace of envy in their hearts, but then they thought of Ning Ying's usual humility and kindness to everyone, and for a while, their hearts were mixed.
I don't even know what to say.
……
In the afternoon, the small courtyard next door.
Ning Ying was supported by Qing Yang, walked through the pile of wooden boxes in the courtyard, stepped into the hall, turned around three hundred and sixty degrees, and looked around.
That's great!
It's just a hall, it's bigger than where she used to live, and it's much more elaborately structured, with carved grooves and patterns on the window lattices, forming a variety of beautiful patterns.
The small courtyard outside is full of greenery, the noon sun shines down, through the clear blue of the courtyard, people look out in the hall, the beautiful scenery in the courtyard is like a painting, inlaid in every window.
When you move to the view, it's like swimming in a painting.
Because it is early summer, the window lattice has been arranged in advance and hung with thin bamboo curtains - faint yellow-green, exuding the fragrance of bamboo and wood, which is the fresh breath of nature.
The window screen below is also pale blue, and when you look at it, you feel that the heat in your heart has gone three points first.
Ning Ying walked around the room several times with satisfaction, then thought of the stove and quickly went out to see.
The stove room has been arranged, and the inside is quite spacious, with a long large table in the center, and shelves on both sides, which can put a lot of dishes, chopsticks and plates.
This is the operator's station.
Ning Ying walked to the back door of the stove room and saw a large water tank on the left and right, which was full of water.
Next to the tank is a small flower garden - because there is room for a small vegetable garden, it is the only flower bed left in the whole yard.
In the middle of the flower garden is a thin bamboo pole shelf, which is covered with purple morning flowers.
Ning Ying was looking at it when she heard a small snoring sound faintly coming from under the flowers and leaves.
She stepped forward and flicked the blades of grass, and her snoring became clearer.
The little wonton suddenly turned over in the blades of grass, and poked out its little head in a daze-today when it moved, it ran back and forth excitedly for a long time, and now it is finally tired.
Just now it was lying on all fours among the flowers and leaves, taking a nap!
Ning Ying patted its little buttocks, picked the largest blooming Chaoyan flower, turned it upside down as a small hat, and buckled the little wonton on its head.
Coming out of the stove room, turn south to the area of the small vegetable garden.
The first thing to do in the new vegetable patch is weeding, because the grass is the easiest to make the vegetables grow insects, as long as there are insects, no matter how beautiful the vegetables are, they will be gnawed by the insects.
In fact, when the vegetable garden was repaired before, the craftsmen had already removed it.
But in five or six days, the blades of grass popped up again.
A few little eunuchs knelt on the ground to weed one end, and at the other end, another miscellaneous eunuch was preparing the ground—turning the ground over with the tip of a hoe.
Vegetable plots should not be turned over or fertilized, especially in new plots, and they should be doubled.
When the sun was in the sky, Xiao Panzi was far away, standing in the shadow of the corner of the house, giving orders. The little eunuchs were all fourteen or fifteen years old, thin and thin like bean sprouts, sweating profusely in the sun.
No one dared to pause for a moment.
Ning Ying looked a little unbearable.
Just as Ting'er brought the meal back, she ordered the cake and food to be rewarded, and let people take a break.
The little eunuchs were very happy, and they thanked Ning Gege for a thousand thanks.
After another hour of busy cleaning up, Xiao Panzi saw that it was almost over, so he stood at the door of the hall and asked Ning Ying: "Gege, what do you see?" If there is anything else that is not right, just command the minions! ”
Ning Ying watched Qing Yang set up the vase in the hall, and when she heard this, she turned her head and said, "This is already very good, you have worked hard!" ”
Gege was so polite to himself in front of everyone, Xiao Panzi only felt quite dignified.
He suppressed the surging pride in his chest, learned from his master Su Peisheng's usual calmness, with a humble smile on his face, and deliberately slowed down his speech: "It's good if Gege is satisfied!" I'm afraid that the minion hasn't thought about it enough and missed something. After all, before the slave came, the fourth master said: Be sure to clean up Gege properly! ”
Ning Ying smiled and said, "Then you go back for me and thank the fourth master." ”
Xiao Panzi responded slightly.
After he led the people away, the rough little eunuch brought by Ning Ying's side began to clean up the fallen farm tools in the courtyard.
Qingyang and Ting'er helped Ning Ying to walk up the steps, ready to go into the house to tidy up.
This rough little eunuch's surname is Xia, his real name is Shilian, and everyone calls him Little Lotus Seed.
Xiaolianzi only buries her head in things on weekdays, but she is timid and doesn't say much, and she belongs to the kind of character who wants to take a detour even if she doesn't do anything wrong.
So Ning Ying has been crossing over for a while, but she has very little impression of this little lotus seed.
